I've done a lot of road racing over the years. I couldn't keep up with the expense of track fees, tires, gas, broken parts, etc.

For those of you considering taking your crossfire out there, make sure you understand, if you plan on using those factory tires, they will be no good after the event.

Ok I know I'm going to get flamed for the above, sure there will be some tread left, but the excessive heat from taking all those turns hard, will break down the compound of the tire. Resulting in a fast dry rot and minimal traction.

My suggestion is to use there cars. In the event you go off course, hit something, someone, you won't be crying about your Crossfire. I've seen 100k+ vipers go straight into walls. VW's flip and roll several times. Hell I've even went off course and luckily didn't hit anything.

I've always wanted to run Laguna Seca. Especially that cork screw!!! I just wouldn't do it with any car I have right now.

I wish I was in California Had a sponsor and a kick *** race car!
